Black Ops 6 Augments: How Do They Work?

As a long-time Call of Duty fan with over two decades of gaming under my belt, let me tell you that the anticipation for Black Ops 6 is at an all-time high! The return of Zombies mode and the introduction of Augments has me more excited than ever before. I remember playing World at War’s Zombie mode in college, huddling around a screen with friends until the wee hours of the morning, and I can’t wait to recreate those memories with this new iteration.


Anticipation for the debut of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is growing, bringing joy to gamers eager to jump into the fray. Typically, the main draw of a new Call of Duty release lies in its multiplayer aspect, but this time, the resurgence of a round-based Zombies mode coupled with groundbreaking features has left many enthusiasts eager for more details.

On August 8, 2024, Treyarch revealed exciting innovations coming to Black Ops 6, including a novel mechanic called Augments. These enhancements offer an additional level of customization for gameplay, increasing players’ chances of surviving against the relentless hordes of undead enemies. Here you will find all the information about Augments in the Zombies mode of Black Ops 6.

As an ardent fan, I’d say the Call of Duty blog refers to Augments as a “thrilling and imaginative personalization journey.” With Augments, players can tailor their preferred Perks, Field Upgrades, and Ammo Mods using a diverse range of modifiers, divided into Major and Minor categories.

In the game ‘Black Ops 6 Zombies’, players can discover and unlock a total of six augmentations, three major and three minor, for each Field Upgrade, Perk, and Ammo Mod. These augmentations allow players to customize these items according to their preferred playstyle. The minor augmentations provide a partial benefit that typically activates when an item is employed, while the major augmentations offer a more significant advantage as described by Treyarch when an item is in use.

To enjoy additional customization options by accessing more Augments in Black Ops 6, simply play Zombies mode on either the Terminus or Liberty Falls maps once the game launches on October 25th.
